Msc Online Conversion (Wolverhampton vs Sunderland)

2

I am considering these two online conversion courses, Wolverhampton and Sunderland. Both are relitively on the cheaper side. I haven't been able to find reviews of Sunderland, but I see that the reviews for Msc conversion course at Wolverhampton are quite mixed. Any input would be amazing. Thanks

I've just completed my MSc Psychology (conversion), but it was at Arden, may I recommend Coolican's 'Statistics and Research Methods in Psychology' it was invaluable.

For any provider check that the course is fully accredited by the British Psychological Society, and check their report from the Office for Students for an unbiased view.

Sunderland might be a bit chilly on the east coast

I hope I'm not too late. I'm a current online student with Wolverhampton and I would suggest you avoid them at all cost, this place is absolutely horrendous.

I would strongly advise against enrolling at Wolverhampton based on my personal experience and the numerous similar accounts from other students online.

Here are the main issues:

•

Misleading Tutor Services: They advertise on-demand tutoring, but it is actually a "pastoral service" where staff are explicitly instructed not to provide academic assistance.

•

Unprofessional Administration: Staff can be highly unprofessional. In one documented case, a student was accidentally included in an email where staff were slandering her. My own positive experience ended the moment I needed their help.

•

Widespread Negative Reviews: There is a consistent pattern of complaints on sites like Trustpilot, resulting in a nearly 1-star rating.

•

High-Risk Gamble: The only reliable way to complete a program without issues seems to be by avoiding any and all contact with the school's administration, which is not a reasonable expectation.
